This is called Summer, Highland Falls They say that these are not the best of times But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes I can only stand apart and sympathize For we are always what our situations hand us It's either sadness or euphoria So we'll argue and we'll compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity Our reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies So we stand upon the ledges of our lives With our respective similarities It's either sadness or euphoria Oh, oh-oh Oh-woah-woah

She's got a way about her I don't know what it is But I know that I can't live without her She's got a way of pleasin' Mmm, I don't know why it is But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway She's got a smile that heals me Mmm, I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She's got a way of talkin' Mmm, I don't know why it is But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere She comes to me when I'm feelin' down, inspires me Without a sound she touches me And I get turned around She's got a way of showin' Mmm, how I make her feel And I find the strength to keep on goin' She's got a light around her Woah, and everywhere she goes A million dreams of love surround her everywhere She comes to me when I'm feelin' down, inspires me Without a sound she touches me I get turned around Oh-oh-woah, woah She's got a smile that heals me Mmm, I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She's got a way about her Mmm, I don't know what it is But I know that I can't live without her anyway, hey

A bottle of white, a bottle of red Perhaps a bottle of rose instead We'll get a table near the street In our old familiar place You and I - face to face A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends on your appetite I'll meet you any time you want In our italian restaurant. Things are okay with me these days Got a good job, got a good office Got a new wife, got a new life And the family's fine We lost touch long ago You lost weight I did not know You could ever look so good after so much time. I remember those days hanging out at the village green Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans Drop a dime in the box play the song about new orleans Cold beer, hot lights My sweet romantic teenage nights Brenda and eddie were the popular steadies And the king and the queen of the prom Riding around with the car top down and the radio on Nobody looked any finer Or was more of a hit at the parkway diner We never knew we could want more than that out of life Surely brenda and eddie would always know how to survive. Brenda and eddy were still going steady in the summer of '75 When they decided the marriage would be at the end of july Everyone said they were crazy Brenda you know you're much too lazy Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life. But there we were wavin' brenda and eddie goodbye. They got an apartment with deep pile carpet And a couple of paintings from sears A big waterbed that they bought with the bread They had saved for a couple of years They started to fight when the money got tight And they just didn't count on the tears. They lived for a while in a very nice style But it's always the same in the end They got a divorce as a matter of course And they parted the closest of friends Then the king and the queen went back to the green But you can never go back there again. Brenda and eddie had had it already by the summer of '75 From the high to the low to the end of the show For the rest of their lives They couldn't go back to the greasers The best they could do was pick up the pieces We always knew they would both find a way to get by That's all I heard about brenda and eddie Can't tell you more than I told you already And here we are wavin' brenda and eddie goodbye. A bottle of red, a bottle of white Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight I'll meet you anytime you want In our italian restaurant.
